A child who is experiencing an acute asthma attack.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is caring for a child who is experiencing an acute asthma attack. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Albuterol. During an acute asthma attack, the priority is to quickly open the airways to improve breathing. Albuterol is a short-acting bronchodilator that acts rapidly to dilate the airways, providing quick relief. Budesonide, Fluticasone, and Montelukast are long-acting medications used for maintenance therapy and would not provide immediate relief during an acute attack. Administering Albuterol first helps stabilize the child's breathing and is crucial in managing an acute asthma exacerbation.
